The leaves on the trees are starting to change color, and the weather is getting colder, a sure sign that winter is just around the corner. Once again this year, our winter plans are up in the air. I am adamant about going somewhere warm, but to anyone looking at our situation sensibly and logically, it doesn’t look like it is going to happen. Fortunately, I understand the power we have to create things with just our minds.

I know that when we think we are sending vibrations out into the world around us. We are sending out thoughts of greater or lesser intensity all the time, and we are reaping the results of these thoughts. Our thought-waves have a drawing power - they attract to us things, circumstances, people, and “luck,” that are in harmony with the thoughts uppermost in our minds. Thoughts of love will attract to us the love of others, while thoughts of anger, and jealousy will draw to us similar thoughts. In other words we draw to ourselves people and circumstances in keeping with our thoughts.

Most of the time we are unaware of what we are thinking, but when we start to recognize that our thoughts are a powerful force with a magnet-like power of attraction, and we look around at the circumstances of our lives, it becomes obvious what we have been thinking. So, looking at my present situation, what have I been thinking? Obviously, unconsciously I have been thinking thoughts of constraints, thoughts of needing access to health care, and fears of being trapped in a slippery, windy, snowy city.

But, now that I am aware of what my thoughts have been, I know that I am responsible, and I know that I can change the circumstances. So, from now on, I am consciously choosing to think thoughts of abundance, good health, freedom to travel, and warm beaches.
